  • The Definitive Survey on Carbon Removal Capacity

    CDR.fyi and The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal (SoCDR) are partnering to gather information from CDR suppliers worldwide about their current and projected carbon removal capacity for the third edition of the State of CDR report and CDR.fyi's public data and maps. The survey covers basic information, project specifics, project status, delivered CDR, and future removal ambitions, with a deadline of December 15, 2025. Led by researchers from the University of Oxford, the State of CDR report is a global assessment of carbon removal progress that will provide valuable insights for climate solutions experts.

  • This Week in CDR

    This week saw key developments in durable carbon removal (CDR) with companies like Google, Schneider Electric, and Cawa signing agreements for the purchase of CDR credits. Deals were made with Vaulted Deep, Climeworks Solutions, and Carboneers for the removal of thousands of tonnes of carbon by 2030. Partnerships were also announced, including TechGen by South Pole and a strategic agreement between Microsoft and Equinor to advance CO2 transport and storage. Additionally, Carbon Removal Canada launched Carbon Console to track carbon removal projects in Canada. Altitude and Deep Sky have expanded their financing facilities for carbon removal technologies, while California passed bills to accelerate carbon removal projects and established a state CDR Purchase Program. COP30 will feature a carbon removal pavilion to showcase durable CDR solutions, and various reports and studies have been released on biochar deployment, carbon removal modeling, and legal frameworks for commercialization. The section discusses the state of the durable CDR market, with options ranging from very optimistic to very pessimistic, and encourages reader participation in a poll. The CDR.fyi Portal offers free access for companies to gain market insights and showcase their profiles, with affiliations mentioned with companies like Milkywire and Charm Industrial. Data and content published by CDR.fyi are vetted and reviewed by individuals with no conflict of interest.

  • Environmental News Network – A New Take on Carbon Capture

    Cameron Halliday, a PhD student at MIT, found that lithium-sodium ortho-borate, a type of molten salt, can absorb over 95% of CO2 at high temperatures with minimal degradation over multiple cycles. This discovery offers a promising solution for more effective CO2 capture in industrial settings, potentially aiding in the fight against climate change.

  • Made from Air: The Twelve x Mercedes-Benz Pilot That Turned CO2 into Car Parts

    Mercedes-Benz and Twelve have partnered to explore using CO2 to make car parts, successfully producing a polycarbonate C-pillar and foam as a pilot project. This innovation showcases the potential for CO2 to be a viable feedstock in automotive supply chains, leading to a lighter carbon footprint and a pathway to circular manufacturing. Twelve's technology, integrated into existing infrastructure, allows for decarbonization without compromising design or performance. Additionally, Twelve is constructing AirPlantTM One in Washington to produce e-fuels and E-Naphtha from captured CO2, industrializing carbon transformation at scale and pioneering a fossil-free supply chain. This collaboration represents a milestone in industrial decarbonization and showcases the potential for carbon transformation in complex supply chains.

  • Charm Partners with Mangrove to Scale Carbon Removal Operations

    Climate experts have identified a solution to combat the significant amount of CO2 emissions that humanity has released into the atmosphere by putting it back underground. This innovative approach offers a promising strategy for addressing the pressing issue of climate change by effectively reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. By implementing this solution, we can work towards mitigating the impacts of global warming and transitioning to a more sustainable future. This development underscores the importance of investing in and implementing practical climate solutions to combat the growing threat of climate change.
